| |
Add the running kernel's build ID to the stacktrace information header. This makes it simpler for developers to locate the vmlinux with full debug info for a particular kernel stacktrace. Combined with scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh a developer can download the correct vmlinux from a debuginfod server and find the exact line number and file for the functions in a stacktrace.
This is especially useful for pstore or crash debugging where the kernel crashes and the recovery kernel may be different or the debug symbols don't exist on the device due to space concerns. The stacktrace can be analyzed after the crash with the matching vmlinux to understand where in the function something went wrong.
Example stacktrace from lkdtm:

The hex string aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 is the build ID, following the kernel version number.
